Security Clearance and Convictions

[PERSEC]

Hi all,

I'm just trying to get a few answers on a subject which is worrying me constantly

Here's the situation surrounding the problem-

Recently my ex of two years ended it with me over Facebook, it was quite abrupt and she waited until we'd dropped her off at home after taking her on holiday for a week and paying for everything.

I was obviously upset, rang her about 100 times? In the space of 3 weeks. Anyway so as things start to die down a knock on the door suddenly happens and the Police are at my door waiting to arrest me. Apparently it was a 'domestic' and it'd been taken to court, I was also convicted of malicious communications (I sent a message to her guy mate saying 'you won't be able to have sex with her, she's got a problem with sex...) so, two convictions, unsepnt, and 1 conviction for common assault from 3 years ago. I'll lsit everything shortly. I've been told by the Navy to come back in 12 months and they'll see what they can do.

So here's a full list of everything I have-

possessing an offensive weapon 2004 - I was 12 and it was a BB Gun, I received a police warning - under 18
criminal damage 2009 - reprimand - under 18
common assault by beating 2001 - spent now - over 18
on the spot fine for not scanning an item at Tesco (silly of me) - £80 fixed penalty - over 18
harassment section 2 and malicious communications - 140 hours community service, £250 fine, 9 months probation...... all for the sake of letting my heart rule my head

Now I know how bad it looks, apparently I'm a very decent person, I just fall into bad habbits, being 22 now though I'd say it was very safe to say life lessons are learnt and will not be forgotten, so please give me factual answers and then take the p1ss? It's a very very worring subject and all help is appreciated!

SO will this effect my security clearance? I've told the RN Recruiting staff about these, and they said once it's spent Jack, you can come back (or apply when you've completed the disposals and we'll try and get you in before)

I've always wanted to join the marines, I even opted for the Paras but came out of that because I felt so strongly for the Marines!

So again, help is very appreciated!

This was intended for the RMC page, however you guys may know more about a security clearance. Basically if I don't get into trouble again, will I be ok?

Helpful

But factual, which is what you asked for

Very unlikely to get security clearance then?

I don't know but the RN guy has already told you. If you get different advice from a random internet forum, are you going to go back, beat him for lying and demand to get a job on the new QE?

That was a consideration

I've just picked up on the lack of PerSec on my own half... Using my first name in the first post! XD

One of the most important things with getting security clearance is that you are honest and accurate in what you tell them. In March, when you posted something similar, you said you were 11 when this happened - so it's well worth making sure you know exactly how old you were, so you can complete the forms honestly and accurately.

Why not try the army? You know that they will have you, as you've been in the army before:

I've also been in the Army altogether for about 18 months Regular/Reserve and signed official secrets acts etc and no dramas there!

Good luck

Well as a rejoiner the Army is a little bit more stringent, so I'm in the middle of the road now on who'll actually accept me, might be one or the other, or a big figurative lurry might come along, knock me down and I'll get in neither! Either way, I'll make sure I get the exact dates etc. Thankyou for your time
